Why is Goddess Lakshmi worshiped on Dhanteras?
According to the legend, once Lord Vishnu was coming to visit the mortal world, then Lakshmi ji also requested him to accompany her. Then Vishnu ji said, if you believe in whatever I say, then let’s go. Then Lakshmi ji agreed to his words and came to earth with Lord Vishnu.
After some time, after reaching a place, Lord Vishnu said to Lakshmi ji, ‘You stay here until I come. I am going towards the south, you don’t come there. After Vishnuji’s departure, curiosity arose in Lakshmi’s mind, what is the secret in the south direction that has been forbidden to me and God himself went away.
Going further, Lakshmi ji started plucking sugarcane from a sugarcane field and sucking the juice. At that very moment Vishnu ji came and seeing this, he got angry at Lakshmi ji and cursed her and said, now you serve this farmer for 12 years for this crime. Saying this, God left them and went to Kshirsagar.
Then Lakshmi ji started living in that poor farmer’s house. 12 years passed with great joy in the farmer’s house. Then after 12 years Lakshmiji got ready to go. Then the farmer said stubbornly, ‘No. Now I will not let Lakshmiji go. Then Lakshmiji said, ‘O farmer. If you want to stop me then do whatever I say.
Tomorrow is Teras. You plaster and clean the house tomorrow. Keep a ghee lamp lit at night and worship me in the evening and keep money in a copper urn for me. I will reside in that urn. But I will not be visible to you during the puja. Since then, Lakshmi is worshiped every year on the day of Teras.

According to the prophecy, on the tenth day of the marriage, Yamdoot came to Earth to take the life of the king. When he was taking his life, Yamdoot’s heart became sad after hearing his wife’s crying voice. When Yamdoot reached Yamraj with his life, he was very sad. Yamraj said that it is natural to be sad but nothing comes before duty.
In such a situation, Yamdoot asked Yamraj, ‘Is there any way to stop this untimely death?’ Then Yamraj said, ‘If a person lights a lamp in the south direction at the door of his house in the evening on the Trayodashi of Kartik Krishna Paksha, then the possibility of untimely death will be averted from his life.. Since then, there is a tradition of Yam Puja on the day of Dhanteras.
